Does anyone have any experience of high schools in Blenheim or Nelson? We hope to arrive in October but at the moment we are undecided about where we will settle. The schools will be a deciding factor. My daughter will be just 13 and my son will be almost 12, both are academic rather than sporty types. They like the look of Nayland College, as it is similar to the school they are at here in the UK. I quite like the look of the girls and boys colleges in Blenheim, but my daughter is not thrilled by the idea of a single sex school.

Thanks
